The Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) system has been used increasingly in research to record and evaluate the everyday speech of autistic children and their families. However, it is unclear how researchers are using LENA and whether the system is well-suited for work with autistic individuals. The purpose of this systematic review is to…

Gelotophobia (fear of being laughed at) is an under-researched phenomenon in autistic people, yet can have a significant impact on autistic people's quality of life. A narrative review was undertaken to explore if gelotophobia and being autistic are related and what is currently known in the academic literature regarding gelotophilia (joy of being…

Julia Nauman – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Motor stereotypy is a type of repetitive motor behavior frequently occurring in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with maladaptive daydreaming (MD) report repetitive motor behavior associated with addictive and immersive daydreaming. Many autistic self-advocates report symptoms of MD. Motor stereotypy in ASD is associated with lower…

A developmental milestone that both contributes to and facilitates a successful transition into adulthood is the ability to drive. Yet only one in three autistic adolescents successfully obtain a driver's license by age 21 compared to over three-fourths of non-autistic adolescents. Of those who receive their license, there is inconsistency in…

Researchers increasingly employ longitudinal trajectory methods to understand developmental pathways of people on the autism spectrum across the lifespan. By assessing developmental or health-related outcome domains at three or more timepoints, trajectory studies can characterize their shape and varying rates of change over time. The purpose of…

Matthew Carl Zajic; Juliette Gudknecht – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
We examined the use of person- and identity-first language (PFL, IFL) in scholarly writing about autism by reviewing 12,962 journal abstracts from 11 autism research journals (mostly covering the years 2001-2022). We found a preference for PFL (64.68%) over IFL (15.83%) when considering aggregated, within-journal breakdowns (with abstracts using…

Students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face a range of difficulties at university, which can lead them to drop out or fail their studies. Among the solutions proposed to support them, technological tools may be relevant. However, although a great deal of work has been carried out on children with ASD, at university their effectiveness and…
